Your may file ejectiment petition taking benefit of both grounds, i.e., default and sub-letting which is prohibited at law. Law on sub-letting is repoduced below:---

Restriction on sub-letting.- (1) Where at any time before the 9th day of June, 1952, a tenant has sub-let the whole or any part of the premises and the sub-tenants is, at the commencement of this Act, in occupation of such premises, then, notwithstanding that the consent f the landlord was not obtained for such sub-letting, the premises shall be deemed to have been lawfully sub-let.

Re: How to vacate a rented premises?
(1) You and your mother are entitled to half share each in the property.
(2) You may file a joint application for ejectment on the ground that the tenant has sub-letted without your consent.
(3) You have asked about a "sanstha" who could help.
This being a commercial issue, the help of an organisation may neither be available nor advisable, unless of course, you decide to donate your rights in the property to a charitable organisation who may pursue litigation.
(4) The litigation may take a couple of years to fructify, depending upon the tenants.
(5) You may first try for an out of court settlement with the tenants/sub-tenants on the basis of current value of the property.
